Google is re-introducing the app permissions list on the Play Store. The search giant had earlier removed the app permissions list from the Play Store in place of Data Safety labels that rolled out this year. However, the permission list's return timeline on the platform is not specified by the company yet. Google only mentions that it will be back shortly. The company launched the Data Safety labels on Play Store in April this year. Though, it was announced last year. According to an announcement from Android Developers, via a tweet, Google is re-establishing the app permissions section on Google Play Store, a few months after removing them in place of Data Safety labels. Data Safety section was introduced by the company in April, citing that it will allow users to look at the information about how apps collect, share, and secure their data. However, Google first informed the developers about this change last year. Meanwhile, a report by TechCrunch says that users can still go to the apps menu on their phone and check out permissions for the individual app, but it's not reflected on the install page on Google's app store yet. The new change will reportedly let them see both Data Safety labels and app permissions directly from the Play Store. It is to be noted is that Google has made it mandatory for the developers to announce the functionality of the Data Safety section for their apps starting from July 20. The company has also mentioned that apps that are not going to comply with this rule will be “subject to policy enforcement." Furthermore, Alphabet unit Google also said this week that it will cut fees to 12 percent, from 15 percent, for non-gaming app developers on its Google Play Store which switches to rival payment systems, as it moves to comply with new EU tech rules from Tuesday.

Following reports that TikTok and Instagram are becoming go-to sites for people making holiday plans, there are new findings that these apps (alongside YouTube) are increasingly becoming a source of news for young people as well. According to an Ofcom report(opens in new tab) (a UK communications regulator) these three social media platforms are the top three sources among teenagers that were polled. For slightly older people in the 16-24 age category social media and the internet was also their favorite way to watch the news, with the internet in general just beating more traditional options (like television, newspapers, and radio) in the 25-34 and 35-44 groups. Yet despite its growing po[CENSORED]rity, news sourced from social media is still the least well trusted – which is consistent with its ranking in 2020 – with only around a third of people that use social media for news actually trusting what they read there. By comparison around 75% of people listening to BBC local radio trust what they hear in those news reports. While "fake news" has been adopted as a term used by some bad actors when referring to any report they personally dislike, it's still a legitimate concern. Social media and the internet's accessibility have made it easier to spread misinformation, but whether it's coming from new or more traditional platforms how do you avoid fake news? How to avoid fake news on TikTok, YouTube and everywhere else One of the most important factors for assessing if the news is fake or not is looking at the source of the information being reported. A huge advantage of online news (be it a website like TechRadar or a social media platform) is that it’s generally easy to link off to where the information came from originally. TV and radio will often also cite where they sourced their data, too, but it’s obviously a little less convenient than just pressing a hyperlink. Case in point, rather than just believing us when we say that Ofcom said what we’ve written about, you can follow a link to the report that we’ve embedded above to verify the info for yourself. But while not citing sources in any kind of news report can be an immediate red flag, you also need to be wary of who or what is being cited. While Ofcom has a solid track record for writing reliable reports and correcting its mistakes, not everywhere is as good. If the original information comes from somewhere that’s been known to lie in the past or a source that has a very short track record, then it might not be the most reliable. Additionally, it’s worth understanding the context of the information. If it's a study how was it funded, and could outside influences have had an impact on the data? For example, if a drinks brand said a study it paid for found its new product to be the best tasting and healthiest beverage ever made, you might want to take the results with a pinch of salt. Hopefully, these tips and tricks can help you avoid fake news online, and learn which news sources you can trust.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3060M Mobility GPU has been repurposed into a desktop-grade graphics card for the PC market. This is one of the many mobility Ampere GPUs that was designed for an entirely different market segment but due to GPU shortages earlier this year, it had been fused within a desktop graphics card and now we have the first tests. Tested: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060M Mobility GPU In A Desktop Graphics Card? Readers may remember during the graphics card shortage when the situation with obtaining components to create graphics cards was difficult, and prices were insanely high due to not enough stock on the shelves. Some Chinese OEMs looked at utilizing laptop GPUs as a replacement for desktop graphics cards. When the GPU shortage hit the hardest, Chinese OEMs came up with the idea to sell laptop GPUs as desktop models. One such graphics card was recently reviewed by the YouTube channel BullsLab Jay, showing the performance of a variant NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060M. As stated above, this unique graphics card is a laptop-based GPU in a desktop graphics card. There is only 6 GB of GDDR6 memory available instead of the typical 12 GB we would see on the GeForce RTX 3060. Interestingly, the CUDA core count is upgraded from a desktop variant's core count of 3584 cores to 3840 CUDA cores. The TDP on the mobile-based desktop GPU is 115W, whereas the full desktop variant would demand 170W. During the review, the review sample used by BullLab Jay is locked at 80W. Surprisingly, the card performs like a desktop graphics card and is much better than the 105W laptop series. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060M laptop graphics chip and the graphics card that uses a laptop GPU for the desktop card share the same name, the GN20-E3. The hybrid desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060M graphics card was not built for gaming but crypto mining. The reason is the lack of an LHR limitation but still offering close to the exact memory specifications for Ethereum mining. But now that mining is pretty much useless on these cards, they are entering the used market segment.

A video has surfaced on YouTube where a massive prominence can be seen on the Sun. It is so big that many users say the Sun appears to be breaking apart. The video also shows the prominence in motion along with an eruption of solar flare. Shared on YouTube on Monday by Space Movie, the video has amassed over 15,000 views. The page has a collection of astro images and time lapses captured by Dr Sebastian Voltmer. "Today, I pointed my telescope at the sun. See what I got. This huge eruption is 20 times the size of Earth," he said in the video. According to Newsweek, large, brilliant loops of plasma-electrically charged hydrogen and helium gas that stretch from the Sun's surface are known as solar prominences. They are occasionally tens of times bigger than the Earth, making them very gigantic in size. The images were captured through Dr Sebastian's Daystar Quark H-alpha filter system. Even though they can take only a day to produce, solar prominences can be stable enough to last for months while circling hundreds of thousands of kilometres into space and remaining tied to the surface of the sun, reported Newsweek. Dr Sebastian also tweeted a photograph on Twitter and wrote, "There is currently a huge #prominence visible on the #Sun. That's impressive, but it was spectacular to see a very fast-moving part of it through my small refractor telescope - ejecting and detaching to the side. Images captured through my #Daystar #Quark." According to American space agency NASA, scientists are unsure exactly how solar prominences arise. It is believed that they flow along the Sun's tangled and contorted magnetic field lines. Spaceweather.com said in an article that suddenly, solar prominences might collapse completely. This phenomenon occurs when the magnetic field in their area becomes unstable, such as if a new magnetic field line pokes through the sun's surface beneath the prominence.

Google Maps could soon tailor the route information it gives you based the kind of car you drive, potentially giving you a different route depending on whether you use an electric car or a more traditional petrol-powered vehicle. In our guide for using Google Maps to reduce your fuel usage and save money on gas, we recommend using the most energy-efficient route. This option sits alongside the usual fastest and shortest route options, and if you choose it you'll be directed along the route that's calculated to consume the least amount of fuel (which may, or may not also be the fastest or the shortest route). However, the most efficient route for one type of engine might not be the best for another. So to get around this it looks like Google Maps will in the future let you select what type of engine your car uses – gas/petrol, diesel, electric, or hybrid. That’s based on the latest 11.39 beta build of Google Maps, which (as spotted by 9to5Google(opens in new tab)) includes references to selecting your car’s engine type to get fuel-efficient route suggestions. Another line of code suggests you won’t have to share this information right away, or at all, if you don't want Google to know too much about you, and you’ll also be able to change your engine type in-app too. Despite its inclusion in the latest beta, this feature is still very bare-bones, and isn’t actually usable – instead being hidden deep in the app’s code. While it’s likely we’ll see it fleshed out in the future there’s no guarantee that it'll happen anytime soon, if at all – and even if the next beta update includes this feature, it’ll still be a while before it comes to the official Google Maps release. Fuel-efficient routing won’t be an immediate or massive game-changer in terms of how much fuel we use. But combined with adopting other fuel-efficient measures (like using better tires and driving more carefully), it could make a significant difference. For those of us enduring high fuel prices at the pump, this change can’t come soon enough. And while gas prices aren't such a pressing issue for electric vehicle owners, electricity prices are also rising, and recharging can be time-consuming. Google Maps isn’t the only service thinking about creating custom routes for different vehicles. Apple Maps could soon recommend the best routes for people riding electric bikes. As the range of vehicles on our roads continues to diversify, we’ll hopefully see more companies introducing services designed to make our journeys as efficient as possible. Looking to reduce your carbon footprint today? Here are the best electric bikes we’ve tested.

WhatsApp is well known for the pace of its updates – users were recently given emoji reactions to play around with, for example – and it looks as though another significant change is in the offing. As spotted by the fine folks at WABetaInfo(opens in new tab), the latest beta version of the WhatsApp app for Android features code that suggests you'll soon be able to post voice messages as your status for your contacts to listen to. The feature hasn't gone live yet, not even to beta testers – but a screenshot shared by WABetaInfo shows a microphone button alongside the text, photo and video options that currently exist for setting your status. At the moment, you can send a voice note or an audio file inside a conversation in WhatsApp, but you can't share them more widely to your contacts en masse. That would change once the new feature starts rolling out. The WhatsApp status function has now evolved to become similar to the stories feature on Snapchat and Instagram: you post a line of text, an image or a short video, and it's visible to the people you're connected with for 24 hours. You can, if you wish, only show your status to a select number of your contacts. Those time limits and privacy settings would presumably apply to voice status updates as well, though it remains to be seen exactly how they would be shown inside the app. Watch this space for an official announcement about the feature. Even to the casual observer, WhatsApp is busier than most apps when it comes to piling the new features up on top of each other – whether it's more comprehensive controls for group chat admins, or tweaked settings for your last seen status. It's grown from a basic messaging app to be more akin to a social media platform in its own right, and being able to set your status is a big part of that. It's not quite the Facebook feed, but it's getting closer to it. WhatsApp has been able to take advantage of the shift away from public to private sharing: many of us are now more likely to share photos with a limited number of people inside a WhatsApp group than plaster them all over an app like Instagram. And that's all fine with Meta (previously Facebook) of course: it's keen to get its hands on as much of your data and your app time as possible, and WhatsApp's increasingly lengthy list of capabilities is likely to draw even more users to it

The first gaming and synthetic performance benchmarks of Intel's Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake 5.5 GHz CPU have been leaked by Extreme Player at Bilibili (via HXL). Intel's Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake Is 5% Faster Than Core i9-12900K Alder Lake on Average In Leaked Gaming Benchmarks The Intel Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU tested in the leaked benchmarks is a QS sample that features 24 cores and 32 threads in an 8 P-Core and 16 E-Core configuration. The CPU carries a total of 36 MB of L3 cache and 32 MB of L2 cache for a combined 68 MB of 'Smart Cache. It also comes with a base (PL1) TDP of 125W & an MTP of around 250W. This chip is running around the same 3.0 GHz base and 5.5 GHz boost clocks that we saw in the previous benchmarks by the same leaker. The final chip is expected to hit single-core boost clocks of up to 5.7-5.8 GHz though that remains to be seen till the final variant makes it to the market. In terms of performance, we have more detailed gaming and synthetic benchmarks with the Intel Core i9-13900K (5.5 GHz) and Core i9-12900K (4.9 GHz) running at their stock frequencies on a Z690 platform with 32 GB of DDR5-6400 memory and a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card. The Core i9-13900K already has a 12.2% clock speed advantage over the Core i9-12900K so it should be faster by default even if the architecture is the same. The extra uplift comes from the increased cache as it gets over a 50% bump (68 MB vs 44 MB). Intel Raptor Lake Core i9-13900K vs Alder Lake Core i9-12900K Synthetic Benchmarks (via Extreme Player): The gaming performance was tested in various titles at 2160p, 1440p, and 1080p resolutions. The average performance improvement seems to be around 5-10% across all three resolutions for the Intel Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU versus its Core i9-12900K Alder Lake predecessors. There are only a few cases where the chip showed huge gains. The cache and higher clocks really seem to be benefitting the minimum frame rate with around 25-30% jumps in a few titles such as PUBG, Forza Horizon 5, and up to 70-80% gains in Red Dead Redemption 2. The same was the case with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D which not only saw average performance go up with its extra 3D V-Cache but the minimum FPS numbers also went up quite a bit thanks to the increased cache. Notably, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D offered a much bigger cache size compared to the Raptor Lake cache bump (vs Alder Lake CPUs). Intel Raptor Lake Core i9-13900K vs Alder Lake Core i9-12900K Gaming Benchmarks (via Extreme Player): 1 / 8 Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K Full Gaming Benchmark Performance Breakdown: One interesting comparison that has been made is the power consumption figures where the Intel Core i9-13900K consumes up to 52% higher in games than the Core i9-12900K and an average of 20% higher power consumption across all three resolutions tested. This means that the next-gen Raptor Lake CPU lineup is going to be more power-hungry than Alder Lake, even in games. The breakdown of average FPS at each resolution is as follows: Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K at 1080p: 4.22% Faster Performance on Average Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K at 1440p: 6.97% Faster Performance on Average Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K at 2160p: 3.30% Faster Performance on Average Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K All Res Avg - 4.83% Faster As for the minimum FPS, the breakdown at each resolution is as below: Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K at 1080p: 27.93% Faster Minimum FPS Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K at 1440p: 21.83% Faster Minimum FPS Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K at 2160p: 12.82% Faster Minimum FPS Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K All Res Min Avg: 20.86% Faster And finally, we have the maximum FPS breakdown for each resolution as listed below: Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K at 1080p: 6.29% Faster Maximum FPS Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K at 1440p: 4.42% Faster Maximum FPS Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K at 2160p: 2.58% Faster Maximum FPS Intel Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-12900K All Res Max Avg: 4.43% Faster

A new Windows Media Player update for Windows 11 has brought back CD ripping, meaning that any audio CDs you have can be transferred to your PC and added to a playlist. If you've been a PC user in the last 25 years, you've most likely come across CD ripping within a media player, allowing you to save your music onto your computer. However, in recent year's it's fallen out of favor, due to fewer PCs coming with CD or DVD drives, plus the rise in streaming services like Spotify (as well as various copyright concerns artists and publishers had). However, Windows 11 build 25158(opens in new tab) will once again allow you to rip a CD into MP3, AAC, FLAC and ALAC within Media Player, alongside setting the bitrate, so you can maintain the sound quality of your favorite Spice Girls track, for example. These updates are further proof that Media Player is going back to its roots in, and makes us wonder what could be next as Microsoft prepares the first big update to Windows 11 since its launch in 2021. Many people will remember the bizarre skins that you could use in older Windows Media Player versions, such as a green head or a blue bacteria character. But with CD ripping now back for Windows 11 users, I want to keep banging the Media Player drum of bringing back skins to the app. That was part of what made Media Player fun to use; you had the simplicity of playing your favorite tracks, but in the guise of a green head for no justified reason. Let's start to see these make a return in a future version - remastered skins that can look great up to 8K for example, or perhaps dedicate a section of the redesigned Microsoft Store to new themes. Or even the ability to create your own. There's a bunch of possibilities here, so let's start to see the fun return to Media Player.

An AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU, most likely the Ryzen 5 7600X, has appeared within the Basemark benchmark with 6 Zen 4 cores. AMD's Mid-Range Ryzen 5 7600X "Zen 4" CPU Spotted In Benchmark: Features 6 Cores, 12 Threads & 4.4 GHz ES Clock Speeds, Up To 11% Faster Than Ryzen 9 5950X The AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU appeared within the Basemark Benchmark database and was spotted by TUM_APISAK. According to the information available, the chip is an engineering sample with OPN id '100-000000593-20_Y'. The benchmark provides information such as the CPU cores & clock speeds. This seems to be a 6 Core and 12 Thread chip based on the Zen 4 core architecture. The CPU will carry 32 MB of L3 cache and 6 MB of L2 cache for a total of 38 MB combined cache. That's about 9 percent more cache than the existing Ryzen 5 5600X CPU which features the same 32 MB of L3 but has 512 KB of L2 cache per core. This has been bumped to 1 MB of L2 cache per core on the Zen 4 core architecture. As for the clock speeds, the chip has a 4.4 GHz clock which is the base frequency so the turbo frequency could be much higher over the 5 GHz mark. For comparison, the Ryzen 5 5600X has a base clock speed of 3.7 GHz so around a 19% jump in base clock figures. Based on the specifications alone, it looks like this is our first look at the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU which should be a hot-seller in the mainstream range, priced at around $300-$350 US. Basemark does provide benchmarks but they are solely GPU results that relied on the NVIDIA RTX A4000 graphics card. Based on performance metrics provided by Harukaze5719, it looks like the Zen 4 ES CPU offers up to 11% higher performance than the Ryzen 9 5950X based on 16 Zen 3 cores. This is a substantial increase considering the Zen 3 part runs at much higher clock speeds and has 16 cores but the benchmark. Expect even better performance with the final retail variant. With that said, the AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs including the Ryzen 5 7600X should make their way to retail by September 2022 as indicated in previous rumors. The motherboard it was tested on, the Gigabyte X670E AORUS Master has already been announced and you can find more info here.

Redmi could be gearing up to launch the Redmi K50S and K50S Pro in China. Both of these handsets are believed to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and are expected to be China-specific models. Now, a notable tipster has revealed a few other key specifications of the Redmi K50S Pro. This handset is likely to debut as the Xiaomi-owned brand's first smartphone to feature a 200-megapixel camera. It is believed to be a rebranded version of the Xiaomi 12T Pro that is said to launch globally. Tipster Digitial Chat Station shared a post on Weibo mentioning key specifications of an upcoming smartphone that is set to launch in China. It is believed to be powered by an SM8475 chipset (Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC) and could pack a 5,000mAh battery. The handset is expected to have a display with a 120Hz refresh rate and is likely to feature a 200-megapixel sensor. The tipster stated in the comments that this handset was not the Motorola X30 Pro/Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, which is also expected to arrive with a 200-megapixel camera. Hence, this smartphone could be the Redmi K50S Pro. The Redmi K50S Pro is understood to be the Chinese variant of the Xiaomi 12T Pro. As per a recent report, the Xiaomi 12T series will also be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Both of these handsets were recently spotted on the China Compulsory Certificate (3C) site, which might indicate an imminent launch. The report also mentions that both of these smartphones have been codenamed diting. Xiaomi is unlikely to launch the Redmi K50S Pro and the Xiaomi 12T Pro in India. Why does Redmi refresh its phones so soon? We discuss this on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast. Orbital is available on Spotify, Gaana, JioSaavn, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and wherever you get your podcasts.

Windows 11 is getting some mixed reviews from its userbase right now, and it looks like issues caused by the latest security update aren't going to sway opinions in a more positive direction. As reported by Windows Latest(opens in new tab), Windows 11 update KB5015814 has been released onto the public build of the current Microsoft operating system in order to address existing problems and introduce some new features. These include bringing the Windows Search highlights features to the wider public, as well as eradicating a bug that was preventing people from updating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on compatible devices. Unfortunately for some users, the update itself is refusing to install correctly, displaying the 0x8000ffff, 0x8007007e, and 0x80073701 error messages and in some cases forcing systems into an endless reboot loop. At least two individuals have also reported an issue where the Start Button became unresponsive after the installation, but we're unsure of how widespread that concern is by comparison. Anyone else having Start menu issues with the latest KB5015814 #Windows11 update? I can't keep the start menu open and in running programs, seems like something keeps opening and closing but can't tell what it is since it keeps jumpingJuly 13, 2022 Microsoft doesn't have an official fix yet, though it appears that uninstalling the update does solve the issues for those impacted. Still, this update contains some important security updates to help keep your system protected, so if you're not currently experiencing any issues after installing it, there's no need to pre-emptively remove it from your system. How to uninstall the Windows 11 KB5015814 update To uninstall the update, open the Start menu, then type in ‘Windows Update Settings’. From there, click ‘Windows Update’ then ‘View Update History’. Next, click ‘Uninstall Update’ and select KB5015814 then click ‘Uninstall’. Hopefully this will fix the problem, however, you may find that other problems the update did fix have now returned. Hopefully, Microsoft will release a new KB5015814 update that fixes the new issues without introducing extra problems. There have been a few noticeable Windows 11 problems of late, but if we're being reasonable, it's very common that a minority of users will encounter some bugs after an update is released. All the beta testing in the world could still result in a few catastrophic problems for a handful of people because of how much Windows-based systems can vary. Even if you jumped ship to a macOS device such as the new MacBook Air (M2, 2022) you'll still probably see reports of various bugs appearing after the operating system is updated, despite the walled-in Apple ecosystem. We should also note that encountering these issues yourself is uncommon, and you gain very little by avoiding updates given how quickly flaws in security can present themselves over time. It's important to make sure your system is as up-to-date as it can be in order to protect yourself, and these issues are likely to be corrected in a separate patch or update anyway. If you do find that your system has a few frustrating quirks after installation, report them on the official Windows 11 community forums(opens in new tab).

NVIDIA is reportedly prepping a new price cut for its high-end GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards which will be hitting retailers this week. The report comes from Benchlife (via Videocardz) who have managed to get a list of the new MSRPs for the top-tier Ampere lineup. NVIDIA Might Be Issuing A Price Cut On Its High-End GeForce RTX 30 Graphics Card Including RTX 3090 Ti, 3090, 3080 Ti & 3080 Over the last couple of days, we have seen a massive price drop on graphics cards. These not just include NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards but also the AMD Radeon lineup too. The huge price drop comes as a reaction to the crypto crash which has resulted in a huge amount of used GPUs flooding the market and also the fact that the next-gen graphics cards from both manufacturers are going to launch in the coming months and AMD & NVIDIA don't want to sit on stockpiles of current-gen inventory which won't easily sell once the new generation of cards enters the market. That is unless NVIDIA and AMD can get rid of the majority of this inventory right now by offering price cuts and promotions such as game bundles, etc. NVIDIA, to make room for their high-end GeForce RTX 40 series graphics card lineup, is reportedly planning on cutting the prices of various high-end GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards. The new prices are expected to be lower than the original MSRPs which these cards never sold at in their 2 years lifespan since launch and only happen to be selling now when the new generation is on the verge of launching.

Windows 11 users have in some cases found themselves suffering at the hands of a bug which interferes with Outlook search results. As spotted by Bleeping Computer(opens in new tab), the email client can fail to return results pertaining to recent messages when running a search in Outlook on Windows 11 PCs. The issue can happen with POP, IMAP, and offline Exchange accounts, scenarios in which Outlook uses the local Windows Search service to index emails (in most cases). Online Exchange accounts and Microsoft 365 are not affected as they use service search for the majority of searches, and this isn’t hit by the gremlin in question. Microsoft explains that it is investigating the issue, and is “currently working on a solution” with an update on any fix to be provided in the support document(opens in new tab) flagging the problem. Analysis: Search bug strikes again – hopefully with a quick fix? Bugs are to be expected, even if they are unwelcome – and much too prevalent since Windows 10 arrived – but the situation with this one is a bit more embarrassing for Microsoft seeing as the same kind of Outlook bug happened last year when Windows 11 was first pushed out (before being fixed in January 2022). So, it doesn’t look good for Microsoft that the glitch has re-emerged. It's also not great that the provided workaround involves the registry, an area of the system that requires a good deal of care when you’re tinkering and making changes (small slips can wreak havoc here). If you do want to apply the temporary workaround, be very careful following Microsoft’s outlined steps for troubleshooting (and also bear in mind that the fudged solution involves disabling Windows Desktop Search – basically forcing Outlook to use its own search). This was exactly the same workaround Microsoft aired when this problem first reared its head last year, you may recall. Hopefully given the previous experience troubleshooting this bug, a remedy should be forthcoming in short order – though there’s always the chance that this is a seemingly thornier flaw in Outlook than thought, given its reoccurrence. We shall see, but it’s worth keeping an eye on that support page where a notification will come through regarding any fix which has been implemented.

Intel is already planning to launch its next-gen NUC lineup which will include the Raptor Canyon 'NUC Extreme' PC with 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs. Intel Raptor Lake Desktop CPU Powered NUC Extreme 'Raptor Canyon' With Shrike Bay Compute Element Leaked Intel will be releasing its 13th Gen Raptor Lake Desktop CPUs later this year and it looks like the company also plans to launch its next-gen NUC 13 Extreme Mini PC alongside the platform. The leaked documents and roadmap come from Intel's NUC subreddit (via @Harukaze5719) which shows what we will be getting in the next generation of NUCs. Starting with the details, Intel's next-gen NUC 13 system will be called Raptor Canyon which is named after the chips 'Raptor Lake' that will be featured within it. The NUC 13 Extreme 'Raptor Canyon' will feature 13th Gen 'K' unlocked SKUs such as the Intel Core i9-13900K, Core i7-13700K, and the Core i5-13600K. The NUC will also feature support for a full-length PCIe x16 graphics card (Gen 5 standard) and will come in a 13.9 Liter chassis which is a >50% increase in chassis size vs the existing Eden Bay Compute Element. Intel will definitely be marketing its own Arc discrete graphics cards with the NUC 13 Extreme systems since those will be available by then but users will also have the choice to go with either AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards too. Considering that Intel's existing NUC 12 Extreme already has Gen 5 PCIe x16 support, we can expect that to be carried over to the NUC 13 Extreme too but it's not confirmed if we will get any Gen 5 M.2 SSD functionality since Raptor Lake CPUs don't have exclusive Gen 5 M.2 lanes but they will rather be split with the discrete GPU lanes. The CPU will come with two Gen 4 x4 lanes for M.2 devices. Within the NUC 13 Extreme 'Raptor Canyon' Mini PC will be the latest NUC 13 Extreme Compute Element codenamed Shrike Bay. Once again, the latest compute element will support all Raptor Lake Unlocked 'K' and 'KF' series chips. It will be interesting to see if the previous-gen Eden Bay Compute Element which houses the 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs will be backward compatible with the newer Raptor Lake chips considering they utilize the same socket and the desktop CPUs are confirmed to be inter-compatible. The Intel NUC 13 Extreme Mini PCs are expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2022 which means that Raptor Lake is definitely going to ship prior to that so expect a 13th Gen Desktop CPU launch in early Q4 followed by the NUC 13 systems in late Q3 '22.

iQoo recently launched the iQoo Neo 6 in India in May. The Vivo-owned brand has brought the iQoo Z6 5G, Z6 Pro 5G, and Z6 4G to the country as well this year. Rumours suggest that it is also on the verge of launching its flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset-powered iQoo 9T in India this month. Now, a new report has hinted that the iQoo Z6 SE (Speed Edition) has surfaced on the iQoo India site which might indicate that this handset could launch in the country soon. According to a report by RootMyGalaxy in collaboration with tipster Paras Guglani (@passionategeekz), the iQoo Z6 SE has been spotted on the iQoo India site. The 'iQoo Z6 SE' moniker was allegedly listed in a line of code on the site. This handset could reportedly launch in India in August along with the iQoo Z6 Pro SE. For the time being, there are no other rumours floating around regarding this handset and the company has been tight-lipped as well. iQoo is believed to be gearing up to launch the iQoo 9T in India. A recent report mentions that this smartphone may launch in July. It is said to sport a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The handset could pack a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and offer 120W fast charging support. The Vivo subsidiary launched the iQoo Z6 5G in India earlier this year in March. The handset has a 6.58-inch full-HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it packs a Snapdragon 695 SoC and a 5,000mAh battery. At launch, its base variant was priced at Rs. 15,499. Later on, the iQoo Z6 Pro 5G and iQoo Z6 4G also arrived in India in April. They sport 6.44-inch full-HD+ AMOLED displays and are powered by Snapdragon chipsets.

While Twitter is in the midst of being bought by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, it's been spotted testing two features as of late - one where you can listen to podcasts within its app on iOS and Android, and another where you can 'cotweet' with another user to post a tweet. Yet as the company is testing out how its users can tweet with one another and so forth, Elon Musk's deal of buying the company looks to be under threat, mainly due to the data of spam and bots can't be verified, according to The Washington Post(opens in new tab). This means that the data that Musk wanted back in May that caused the deal to go on hold, isn't holding up to scrutiny. It's an uncertain time for Twitter, but looking into these two features, one can't help but wonder - what's the point of them? Analysis: One almost makes sense, the other doesn't CoTweets(opens in new tab) is exactly what you expect; as you compose a tweet, you can add someone who you follow and who follows you, and once you both approve the tweet, it's sent with you both being shown as the author. It's a simple feature that could be used if you're part of a project for example, or if you want to announce something without retweeting the other's account. It's currently in testing throughout USA, Canada and Korea for select users. Still, Twitter has made sure to mention that it's currently an experiment, and it could be switched off at any time if the feature is deemed a failure. This is why we go to another feature in testing that the company hasn't announced as yet, and one that I find no reason to exist. It looks as though there's going to be a dedicated podcast tab beside your timeline, mentions, and profile icons on the Twitter app. From Wong's tweet, it would be fair to assume that some external podcasts could be available on its Spaces feature, where anyone on Twitter can create an audio conversion, with people able to guest in with their questions. On one hand, it seems like the next natural step for Spaces, but on the other hand, it seems irrelevant and confusing, especially when there are dedicated apps like Overcast and Pocketcasts that can manage your podcasts more easily. Sometimes features are created just to see if they make sense - we've all been in similar situations. We think something is a good idea, but when it goes further and becomes closer to reality, it turns out to be a bad idea entirely. This is where I suspect podcasts will go for Twitter as this feature is tested more. Instead, let Spaces be its own thing. Let Twitter users have their own shows within Spaces, rather than bringing in already-established podcast series, and trying to directly compete with podcast apps.

The AMD EPYC 9000 "Genoa' CPU family featuring the brand new Zen 4 core architecture has been leaked by Yuuki_AnS. The lineup list includes several SKUs with their proper naming, core counts & clock speeds. AMD EPYC 9000 Genoa CPU Family Leaked: 18 SKUs In The Works With Up To 96 Zen 4 Cores, 384 MB Cache, 400W TDP Starting with the details, AMD has already announced that EPYC Genoa would be compatible with the new SP5 platform which brings a new socket so SP3 compatibility would exist up till EPYC Milan. The EPYC Genoa processors would also feature support for new memory and new capabilities. In the latest details, it is reported that the SP5 platform will also feature a brand new socket that will feature 6096 pins arranged in the LGA (Land Grid Array) format. This will be by far the biggest socket that AMD has ever designed with 2002 more pins than the existing LGA 4094 socket.

The never-launched successor to the Volkswagen Phaeton has been revealed to celebrate the limousine's 20th anniversary. Known as the Phaeton D2, it was meant to succeed the original Phaeton, which was produced at Volkswagen’s flagship Transparent Factory in Dresden, Germany, from 2002 to 2016. However, it was cancelled in 2016, as the firm shifted its focus to electric mobility. The drivable prototype seen in these pictures was produced as part of the final decision to decide whether to put the car into production or not. The redesigned Phaeton would have been built on the Volkswagen Group’s MLB platform, shared with a variety of models including the Audi A5, Audi A7 and Porsche Macan. The exterior is an evolution of the original Phaeton design, with a large chrome grille being the main feature of the rounded front end. The lines become more sharp towards the rear of the car, reminiscent of the Audi A6. Chrome window surrounds, bumper detailing and side-skirt detailing are also similar to the original Phaeton. The interior has a number of features that its designer, Tomasz Bachorski, said were “ahead of their time”. A curved display can be seen, itself an object that wouldn’t find its way to a production car from Volkswagen until 2018, where it made an appearance in the Volkswagen Touareg - an SUV with which the Mk2 Phaeton would have shared its platform. The interior is finished in cream leather, with gloss wood detailing visible throughout to break up the colour. The rear - designed to carry on the theme of a “lounge on wheels” seen in the first Phaeton - features television screens for passengers and chromed door handles. Volkswagen design chief Jozef Kabaň said: “The car still has a very attractive appearance and beautiful proportions, and it impresses with its tangible high quality and value.”
